New York City schools close for Muslim holiday.

In his address to the issue he referred to the subject of police and the black population by describing how he has to warn his own son, that while the police are to be respected and they are thankful for them, but specifically as a black youth, he has to be extra careful, moreso than a white teen. This guy is way beyond Gov Nixon's level, but I suppose the Mayor of New York City should be. Then he repeated the speech in Spanish. Good for him. I hope they keep it u ...

I learned I will not purchase any gifts from the "wish lists" of the youth in our family. Yes, this includes my own kids. Only 1 out of the 4 had any surprises at all in their gifts. Mind you, these 4 range in age from 9 to 24 years. The 24yo was surprised. The other 3 knew exactly what they were getting - recognized the boxes - made such statements about knowing all their gifts. Not hateful, not ungrateful but expectant. The 2 youngest are my nephews. Neith ...

I get so resentful around this time of the year. All the expectations! It makes it hard to enjoy it. Feeling like everything has to be perfect. This year, I am so broke I'm not going to be able to have one of those "perfect" Christmases. And I resent that. Gosh, I wish it could just be another day!!!! ...

I have two grown 30+ year old sons who have jealousy and rivalry issues. One son invited me, their step-dad, his sister, and his grandmother to lunch for Mother's Day. I accepted and asked if his brother was invited and he said no. I thought maybe my other son would be at his in-laws, but he wasn't. He got hurt. I tried to make other plans with him in the afternoon, but he was hurt and rude. I finally told the oldest son that I would have to cancel l ...

oops on the first one -- swiss veggie bake the California blend needs to be thawed as well -- my sister sent the recipie to me and forget to mention that fact and I add a ton of cheese and just set the temperature a bit higher. Mea culpa ...

Add pork stuffing, then throw away the whole dinner because you said you wouldn't have pork stuffing before you went ahead and served it all the while refusing to admit it was wrong to try to serve the pork stuffing after you said you wouldn't.

ONE GREAT IDEA!!! Christmas & Chanukah 2011 -- Birth of a New TraditionAs the holidays approach, the giant Asian factories are kicking into high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods -- merchandise that has been produced at the expense of American labor. This year will be different. This year Americans will give the gift of genuine concern for other Americans. There is no longer an excuse that, at giftgiving time, nothing can be found that is produced by A ...

Here's my question - The owner of the salon where I get my hair cut and colored is the one who does my hair 95% of the time. Her prices are very reasonable for the area where I live, about half the cost of other places around. I've always tipped in the past, which she often refuses or gives me free product in return, and yes, I know you're not technically supposed to tip the owner of the salon, but I've always felt like you tip for good service. I'm won ...

I have 3 recipes I want to share that I make for the holiday. I share these each year and people have liked them. These are recipes that I can sit and eat the whole thing by myself. :-) My Grandma's jello salad. - This is one of the most refreshing things to add to the menu. It's not a holiday without it. 1 pkg large jello (I swear by black cherry, my mom swore by lemon - both are good). 1 pkg cream cheese 1 can crushed pineapple. 2 cups boiling water Soften the ...

... as distracting background noise goes, at least it's pleasant. #silverlinings ...

Since the holiday season is only about 2 months from now, I wanted to share this great idea that was just passed along to me from a friend. If you, or someone you know is bowing out of the commercialism and materialism of the holiday season by saying "no more stuff", you can register on the SoKind Registry so that the gift-giver instead can give "experiences" like various types of lessons (cooking, music, etc), national park passes, zoo memberships, classes to learn a new skill, hot balloon ride ...

Every year at Christmas my hubby is able to take two weeks off, which is wonderful for him but is beginning to stink for me. By the time his vacation is over I will be extremely resentful towards him and I hate that. In years past he has always done everything he can to help me out while I am working, cleaning the house, wrapping presents, picking up little odd and end gifts, etc. However, this year all he has done is lay on the couch and sleep after sleeping until 11:00 every ...

http://mobile.wnd.com/2016/10/hillary-off-campaign-trail-for-drug-holiday/ “A ‘drug holiday’ is often prescribed for Parkinson’s disease patients,” Noel explained to WND. “The problem is that Parkinson’s patients need increased doses of their medication as the disease progresses.” A drug holiday, he said, would “allow her physicians to get her drug-free for a while, so she can be on lower doses when the drugs are restarted.” “She needs to be able to come on stage a ...

Shots were heard by local residents near Le Campement Kangaba, to the eastern edge of the Malian capital Bamako, with plumes of smoke also seen billowing into the air...

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (R) attacked the White House holiday card in an article on Fox News Radio. The front of the card shows the Obamas' dog, Bo, sitting in a very Christmas-like setting, with a fireplace decorated with wreaths and red ribbons, and a table with a poinsettia plant and presents. "From our family to yours, may your holidays shine with the light of the season," reads the inside of the card, which is signed by the Obamas (including Bo). Palin characterized ...

From NJ.com: " Jumping out ahead of Washington, New York state enacted the nation's toughest gun restrictions today and the first since the Connecticut school massacre, including an expanded assault-weapon ban and background checks for buying ammunition. Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the measure into law less than an hour after it won final passage in the Legislature, with supporters hailing it as a model for the nation and gun-rights activists condemning it as a knee-jerk piec ...

New York City schools close for Muslim holiday.

This is why separation of church and state is good. - sm

Yom Kippur, Christmas, MLK Day - are school holidays - nm

Let's simplify and not close schools for any religious holidays. - sm

I agree. We should, however, close for Halloween! - Best kid-holiday there is!

Bag all the religulous holidays. Keep MLK Day. - nm

I understand the short notice issue, but... - Truth
